For my Cornerstone of Engineering Final Project, I managed a 4-person team to manufacture green energy systems to educate elementary children about engineering. We then constructed a 3D-printed and laser-cut wooden windmill using AutoCAD for the LED system and MATLAB code housing. The system worked by a user pressing a color on the computer UI and an amount of rotations, then the code would run, and the propeller would rotate the set number, which in turn, powered the LEDs on the house, where they lit up the color that was selected from the UI.
The full system for this project contained an Arduino circuit that connected to a propeller, an LED strip, a housing, a laptop running MATLAB code, and an educational poster. This project allowed me to work in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, MATLAB, and Arduino Uno, teaching me many different skills in these engineering software. I used AutoCAD to create the windmill housing, and I lasercut it for accuracy. I also aided in creating the propeller in SolidWorks and setting up the Arduino Circuit. Our team presented this project to young kids to teach them about how sustainable engineering can help the environment.
Our team also composed a 100-page technical report recording all processes, design reviews, and results throughout the project. This allowed me to build my technical writing skills, as well as utilize the engineering design process to have a successful project.
